Mine's are fucked too mate (fucking road salt). A strong word of advice mate, please don't do them yourself. Let the pro's do it.

I'm getting mine done at the weekend. To give you a rough idea on price mines are 20" polished chrome and will cost £50 a wheel. You can use that price as a benchmark for yours. I won't get mine back polished though. They'll be beadblasted and powdercoated.

Trust me mate it's money well spent against doing it yourself.

I haven't got any constructive input to the thread sorry.. but I read the title before I seen what section it was posted in and thought 'oh, here we go, a thread for all the deviants here'

So here I am

[Argyll]

That's what I thought at first. If he had said 'polishing rims' I'd have fallen off my seat.

b@sterd, i've just seen what section this is in, i was thinking something else, but as we have started i once sprayed mine with Brut and it stung for a bit

feck me i read the title and i thought wheyyoooo leos back


lmao

[jjcool]

lol i can see the funny side of the thread topic lol behave now gentlemen


to be honest the alloys are not that bad if they were badly damaged then yes i would put them into a proper alloy repair center.

but concidering they are not that bad i dont see the point in spending around 50 notes per wheel.

they only need touching up. just got to try and get the right colour code for Anthracite.

[Argyll]

I've posted in another forum mate for the colour code. I'll let you know if I get an answer.

Also the gap isnt large enough you risk warpage!

Send them away to get done. I used a company called "Spit & Polish". They arrive, collect your wheels, take them away and then bring them back looking like new. I had a set of 15's done (5 wheels) for 100notes.

I let DJAd spray my rim when he has nowt better to do, he occasionally gives me a reacharound too.

This may be of some use mate

TBH, you may as well go for it yourself on one wheel, if you cock it up then you can get it sorted professionally.

But Bert doesn't know when his bent over getting a polish, I'm nicking his dinner money out his trouser pockets.
